This was my best purchase. 1.3 crop factor may put off some but for me it works better than the 1.6 crop factor by being a bit wider. Additionally this baby just performs, producing images with low noise levels and consistent focus. I only keep my 5DMK2 for its wide angle, full-frame capability and HD video (when used) because it can not touch the 1DMK3 in performance. In low-light situations my 5DMK2 hunts but the 1DMK3 shoots and that consistently. I got a refurb and I am loving it. Beware, make sure you read the manual and go to photography forums unless you are a pro, otherwise the learning curve can be steep.

The only difference between the Refurbished and new camera is the price. Thanks ADORAMA

Used for first time at a powerboat race, the focus was spot on and never missed any action

I require the quick fps of the 1D mk iii, the resolution is fantastic, an absolute bonus. I see no difference between the Canon refurbished camera I received and a brand new one, congratulations to Adorama, the price[...] can't be faulted.

This is the ultimate DSLR. I've owned many cameras and there is absolutely nothing on the market that compares to the EOS 1D Mark III. First, this thing is built like a tank. It's confidence inspiring. It's also nice to know you can get caught in a down pour outside and not have to worry about your camera getting fried. The image quality is absolutely amazing. Even at maximum ISO (H - 6400) the 1D still takes amazing pictures. Of course it really shines at much lower ISO settings, but I was really amazed at a concert shoot how well it performed at high ISO. The battery life is nothing short of amazing. You can go an entire weekend shooting and not even put a dent in the battery life. I've shot over 2000 images on one charge using IS, viewing images on the LCD and I still had 75% battery life! I was reluctant to buy a refurbished camera at first. But I knew that Admorama would take it back if I was not pleased. Am I ever glad I did purchase a refurb! It is every bit as good as new, it comes packaged with all accessories sealed from the factory and there's not a mark on it. You could not tell this was not a new camera by looking at it or shooting with it. I *highly* recommend Adorama's factory reburb Canon cameras at this point.

I will buy again the refurb from canon. I do not have any issue with this camera. Looks like a brand new camera. It will come with a white box.

This unit was purchased as a backup to my other. Other than the box it came in I could tell no difference between the two. I'm very pleased with this unit and will buy a refurbished unit again.

Canon's flagship EOS-1D Mark III is the most advanced EOS Digital SLR ever produced. It has a new 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor (APS-H size) with Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System and a 3.0-inch LCD monitor with Canon's Live View technology. The CMOS sensor has an expanded sensitivity range of ISO 50-6400. 14-bit A/D conversion means fine gradation and a significant drop in digital and shadow noise.
With its generous 28.1 x 18.7 mm image size, the sensor captures every nuance of your scene from highlight to shadow. Extensive noise reduction ensures an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio. Framing is natural because the sensor's 3:2 aspect ratio is the same as in 35 mm cameras, and the sensor's large size realizes an effective angle of view that's just 1.3 times the focal length indicated on Canon EF lenses The 1D Mark III has a redesigned 100% viewfinder, a new 45-point AF system, and can shoot up to 10 fps continuously with a maximum burst of 110 shots.
Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in tandem to speed up every process while refining image quality. A new, lighter body has improved weather sealing and shutter durability. Every facet of the EOS experience has been enhanced with the 1D Mark III. To combat against stray dust that enters the camera and adheres to the image sensor during a lens change, the 1D Mark III features a Canon-designed Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit. The IR-cut filter cleans itself automatically with ultrasonic vibrations, removing dust from the sensor assembly.
Dust that has been missed by the Integrated Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit can also be erased with software included in Digital Photo Professional (DPP) Version 3.0. The 1D Mark III's imaging sensor is able to single out the dust particles on its surface, then plots out their location coordinates within the image. This data is transmitted along with the image, whether JPEG or RAW, and can be either manually or automatically erased in Canon's DPP version 3.0. This added software option ensures the cleanest possible image, perfect for printing or archiving.
